Description

2356602 A Vehicle This invention relates to vehicles and in particular,
but not exclusively, to a land vehicle which is suitable for wading.
It is known to drive a land vehicle through water and, in particular for socalled "off-roaT vehicles, to go wading. When wading through deep water (i.e.
deeper than about 500 mm), it may be considered advisable to drive the vehicle in such a manner that the speed of the vehicle through the water does not exceed the speed of a bow wave which might be created by the vehicle.
On a substantially flat terrain and at a substantially constant speed, a substantially constant level of water is maintained around the vehicle. If the speed of the bow wave is exceeded, however, the vehicle might catch-up with the bow wave. This might result in a height of water being experienced at the front of the vehicle which exceeds a level which is appropriate for efficient wading.
Where the terrain profile below the water in unknown, it is considered wise to sometimes send a person in front of the vehicle to determine the ground state and water depth, e.g. with a measuring stick.
A wading condition in accordance with the prior art can be seen with reference to Figure 1, in which the distance between a vehicle 1 and a bow wave 2 is a function of the vehicle speed through the water. Users of the vehicle must adjust the vehicle speed so as to maintain the distance between the bow wave and the vehicle 1 but are constrained by the line-of-sight 3 between a user and the bow wave 2.
It is an object of this invention to provide an improved vehicle.
Accordingly, the invention provides a land vehicle suitable for wading, the vehicle including a first detection means arranged in use to determine, while the vehicle is wading through a liquid, the state of a bow wave which is created in the liquid by the wading.
The state may include at least one of the height of the bow wave, the speed of the bow wave relative to the vehicle and the relative spacing between the bow wave and the vehicle.
The first detection means may also be arranged to detect a level of the liquid with respect to the vehicle.
The first detection means may comprise a radar mounted on the vehicle above the level of a predetermined wading depth.
The vehicle may comprise a further detection means mounted lower down on the vehicle than the first detection means, such that during wading the further detection means may be below the level of the liquid so as to be capable of being used to determine the ground state below the liquid and/or a depth of the liquid.
A speed of the vehicle through the liquid, or relative to the liquid, may be altered in response to a signal from the first and/or the further detection means. A ride height of the vehicle may be altered in response to a signal from the first and/or the further detection means. The further detection means may comprise a sonar.
The invention will now be described by way of example only and with reference to the remainder of the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a vehicle according to one embodiment of the invention, the vehicle being shown wading through water which is standing on a substantially level terrain; and Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of a vehicle according to a second embodiment of the invention, the vehicle being shown wading through water which is standing on a substantially uneven terrain.
Referring now to Figure 2, a land vehicle 10 is arranged and adapted in use to be capable of wading through liquid (e.g. water) and is equipped with a detection means arranged in use to determine, while the vehicle 10 is wading, the state of a bow wave 20 which is created in the water by the wading.
The detection means is in the form of a radar 30 which can detect the height of the bow wave 20, the speed of the bow wave 20 relative to the speed of the vehicle 10 and the relative spacing between the bow wave 20 and the vehicle 10. The radar 30 is mounted at a height which is above the maximum recommended wading depth of the vehicle 10 and is further arranged in use to detect the mean height of the water with respect to the vehicle 10.
The radar 30 provides signals indicative of the above mentioned parameters of the bow wave 20 and the water to a controller 40 which provides signals to a display means 50 so as to provide to a user of the vehicle 10 an indication of one or more of the height of the bow wave 20, the speed of the bow wave 20 relative to the speed of the vehicle 10 and the relative spacing between the bow wave 20 and the vehicle 10. The user is also provided with an indication of the mean height of the water, so that he can judge the water depth.
In this manner, a user can take the necessary steps to adjust the speed of the vehicle 10 so as to maintain a suitable spacing between the vehicle 10 and the bow wave 20. The information provided to the display 50 is more accurate than relying on a user's line-of-sight to the bow wave 20 and, furthermore, allows a user to maintain a distance between the vehicle 10 and the bow wave 20 which is shorter than might be by relying on line-of-sight alone.
Referring now to Figure 3, in a second embodiment of the invention the vehicle 10 of Figure 1 is modified so as to include a further detection means which is in the form of a sonar 60 and is connected to the controller 40. The sonar 60 is mounted lower down on the vehicle 10 than is the radar 30, such that during wading the sonar 60 may be below the water line. In this manner, the sonar 60 can be used to determine the terrain profile or ground state below the water and also its depth.
The control means 40 can then also provide signals to the display 50 which are indicative of changes in the terrain and in the depth of the water, such that a user is able to make adjustments to the vehicle speed so as to compensate for changes in the state of the ground and in the depth of the water.
In either embodiment, the controfler 40 can be used to make automatic adjustments to the speed of the vehicle 10, so as to maintain a suitable distance between the vehicle 10 and the bow wave 20 and also to adjust the speed of the vehicle 10 to take account of the mean depth of the water.
In a modification to the second embodiment, the vehicle 10 further comprises a susp. ension ride height varying means (not shown), which further allows the controller 40 to make automatic adjustments to vehicle ride height as well as to speed. This makes it possible to compensate for changes in depth which are caused at least in part by changes in the ground profile or user instigated increases in vehicle speed through the water. Such a modification could also be adapted to the first embodiment, so as to increase ride height to compensate for, or allow, higher vehicle speeds.
It is also possible for the controller 40 to take sufficient control of the vehicle of either embodiment so as to be able to slow it down or stop it if, for example, water depth becomes too deep for safe wading. In the alternative, if the vehicle of the second embodiment encounters a deep pothole detected by the sonar 60, the controller 40 can be arranged to increase the speed of the vehicle 10, or its ride height, so that it can pass over this pothole with minimum risk of dropping into it.
